“Who knew math could taste this yummy? 🥧🍽️ This 3.14, Cali and Annie got into the Pi Day spirit with a “pie” of their own! Animal nutrition experts whipped up several consisting of all their favorites including banana, avocado, and sweet potato,” he shared.
Creating the Pies
To celebrate Pi Day, the nutrition team created three separate treats out of a banana base.
The crust was formed out of pellets that are custom made to fit the diets of each animal.

After whipping up the pies, it was time to deliver them to Cali and Annie, Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s anteaters.
Did you know? Anteaters’ tongues can be up to two feet long, and they have special saliva that helps them bring food to their mouths!
